BK-KEY2REV(1)

📦 version 7.3.3, in alpine 3.24

💅 NAME 💅

Okay so bk key2rev — yes bestie, this page lives in the BitKeeper User’s Manual — is literally the BitKeeper utility for converting BitKeeper keys to revisions. Main character energy for your key-to-revision moment ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

cat keys | bk key2rev file

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This utility takes one or more keys on the standard input and prints the corresponding revision in file implied by the key. That’s the whole flex: keys go in on stdin, the matching revision for file comes out 💖

🎀 CATEGORY 🎀

Utility — yep, it’s filed under Utility, and it ate 💅

Cute little sign-off, bestie: BitKeeper Inc, version 1E1, manual footer bk key2rev(none) — and the original footer doesn’t give a separate date, so we’re not inventing one 🫶
